approaches nearest perfection. He was born at Bologna 
in 1555, and died in 1619.

Poussin, a leading master of the French School of Art,

This artist was born at Harlem in 1645, and is said to 
have been a scholar of Peter Grebber. He painted scenes 
of drunken revelry with considerable humor, and some- 
times represented incantations, spectres and similar sub- 
jects with ready invention and ingenuity. He was well 
patronized in England, and died in London in 1704.

The Anabaptists 


In front of his dwelling, in Munster, Johann von 
Leyden is baptizing the daughter of his prophet, Dusent- 
schuer, whom he afterwards married. On his left stand 
his co-regents: Rollman, the priest, holding the book, “de 
libertate Christiana,” under his arm, and Knipperdolling, 
in executioner’s garb, with sword. Behind these appear 
two of his twelve dukes, the co-regents of the world. In 
the foreground, a kneeling monk, seized with fanaticism, 
is pressing forward to the anabaptism. In obedience to 
the king’s command, that all gold and silver is to be 
delivered up to him, a maiden is bringing her trinkets and 
valuables to lay at the sovereign’s feet. Attired in her 
white baptismal robes, Dusentschuer’s daughter, the pic- 
ture of innocence and devotion, kneels before Johann, and 
receives upon her bowed head the water of anabaptism. 
The boy, holding the vessel of water, was a natural son 
of the Bishop of Munster, and in his captivity served as 
page to the king. His garments are blue and brown, to 
typify that his king is Lord of Heaven and Earth. Behind 
the maiden keels Dusentschuer, the second John the Bap- 
tist. Instead of a sheepskin, a wolfskin covers his shoul- 
ders, and on his banner is inscribed the sanguinary motto 
of the Anabaptists: “dat Kort is Flesch worden.” By his 
side appears Hilla, the new Judith, in a state of ecstasy. 
Behind her follows groups of the people, representing 


6 CROCKER  - ART GAUL ERY 


Stupidity, Remorse, Indolence, and Anguish of Mind. 
Armed men mingle in the crowd, for the protection of 
the newly established Zion. Albot, Burgomaster of Mun- 
ster, and his wife, both heartily grieved at the new regime 
of the fanatics, are seen at the window immediately over- 
looking this scene. The Ludgheri Church is visible in the 
background, but as if to carry out the words of Scripture, 
that whatsoever exalteth itself shall be humbled, its spire 
is broken. Pictures and books are being burned in the 
square in front of the church, for New Zion has her King 
and her Prophets. 

The above description of the painting—“The Anabap- 
tists’—was written by the poet Julius Mosen.

Sad Intelligence 

22 Van Oer, Theobald Dresden 


Flight of Maria D’Este, Queen of James II of England, 
from Whitehall 


“Maria Beatrice d’Este, Princess of Modena, was only 
fifteen years old, and remarkably beautiful, when married 
to James II, then old enough to be her grandfather, and 
was to him through all the troubles and vicissitudes of 
her later fortunes, the most tender and devoted wife.” 

This beautiful picture represents her flight from White- 
hall with her infant son on the night of December 13th, 
1688. But a small group of trusty adherents are present 
to witness the sad scene. Supported by the hand of the 
French Duc de Lauzun, the Queen is about to step into 
the open boat, but turns her beautiful face to look a last 
farewell upon the palace that will henceforth know her 
sweet presence no more. The royal babe is borne behind 
her, and leaning against a pillar, the “ancient servitor” 
covers his face.

to the beholder such an infinity of objects, and conveys 
him over such a ‘variety of hill and dale, and misty moun- 
tains,’ that the eye may be said to be constrained as it 
wanders, to repose itself on the way.”

Still Life 
This distinguished artist, who was born at Antwerp in 
1579, confined himself for some time entirely to painting 
fruit and objects of still life, in which he excelled; but 
later devoted himself to animals and hunting scenes, which 
he painted with a fire and spirit unequalled by any master 
who has succeeded him. Snyders died at Antwerp in 1657.

sent hawking parties, halts of travelers, encampments, 
horse fairs, and all subjects into which he could introduce 
horses, which he treated with unequalled spirit and 
correctness.

53 Dietrich, Franz Dresden 
Oedipus and Antigone 


On discovery that he had been guilty of the double 
crime of parricide and incest, Oedipus in horror put out 
his eyes and exiled himself. Led by his daughter, Anti- 
gone, he proceeds to the grove of the Furies at Colones, 
where, amid thunder-peals, he is removed from earth. 

Advancing along a dreary and rocky road, Antigone, 
in a white garment almost completely covered by violet 
drapery, which veils without concealing her beautiful 
form, is putting aside the briars from her father’s path 
with the wand in her right hand; her head is turned 
towards Oedipus, who on his daughter’s left side and 
holding her hand, advances with bowed head and the 
slow, uncertain step of blindness. The dark red drapery 
of Oedipus contrasts admirably with his silvery, flowing 
hair and beard.

Trial of Charles the First of England 


“On the 20th of January, 1649, the sittings of the tribu- 
nal were opened with great ceremony at Westminster Hall, 
and although the king steadily denied the authority of his 
judges, they sentenced him to death on the 27th of January, 
as a ‘Murderer, Tyrant, and Enemy of the People.’ ” 

Never have the misfortunes of a prince furnished more 
themes for poet and painter, than those of him who has 
been alternately represented as a royal martyr, or an 
execrable tyrant. But the calm dignity with which he 
bore his misfortunes, his unaffected piety and his attach- 
ment to the church, must win for him the respect of even 
those most opposed to him in politics and religion.

Cattle Piece 


Adrian Van de Velde was born at Amsterdam in 1639. 
“He was a scholar of Jan Wynants, and ranks almost as 
high as Paul Potter; for if inferior to him in the energy 
of conception displayed in his cattle, in plastic modeling 
and breadth of solid execution, he excels him in variety 
of subject, in taste for composition, delicacy of drawing, 
and in a certain warmth and sweetness of feeling.” He 
has, however, this in common with Paul Potter—that he 
was a distinguished artist by the age of fourteen, and that 
he died young, namely, at the age of thirty-two.

This painting, representing the outside of a Flemish

brush of Abraham Teniers, a brother of David Teniers, 
the younger. He was born at Antwerp about 1618, and 
received his art education both from his father and 
brother. He painted chiefly Flemish village scenes, in 
a style similar, although inferior, to that of the younger 
David. He died in 1691.

This eminent landscape painter was born at Harlem

studied, but it is probable that he was for some time 
the pupil of his friend and fellow townsman Nicholas 
Berghem. Ruysdael’s pictures are held in the highest 
estimation, and are found in the choicest collections. He 
died in Harlem in 1681.

But little is known of the private history of this able

year 1600. He studied in the school of Rubens, but conse- 
quently adopted the manner of Rembrandt, and so closely 
does he approach that master that many works attributed 
to Rembrandt, doubtless owe their paternity to Jan Victor, 


14 CROCKER ART GALLERY 


and only a duly qualified connoisseur can discriminate 
between the two. Victor, or as he sometimes signed his 
pictures, Fictoor, usually chose his subjects from the Old 
Testament. He died about 1670.

Paul Palamedes Staevaerts, or Palamedes, as he is us-

an early age with his father to Holland. After acquiring 
an elementary knowledge of art, he improved himself by 
studying the works of Esais Vandervelde, copying with 
great success, that master’s clear and transparent style 
of coloring, and like him, painted battles, skirmishes, 
attacks of robbers, etc., with great success. He died in 
1638, in the prime of life; but not before he had acquired 
a distinguished reputation among the artists of his native 
country.

ness of penciling, particularly after she had studied the 
works of the Caracci, and that some of her portraits might 
have passed for those of Guido. She died at Rome in 1614.

formed an intimacy with Giorgi Vasari, whom he assisted 
in his works at the Vatican. From Italy he repaired, at 
the invitation of Maximilian I, Elector of Bavaria, to — 
Munich, where he spent the remainder of his life. Under 
the arcade of the Long Gallery of the Hofgarten, in that 
city, he painted a series of frescoes, representing the deeds 
of. Otto von Wittelsbach, and the Departure of the Em- 
peror Ludwig from Rome in 1327. Although these paint- 
ings are now defaced, the designs are preserved in the 
tapestries worked from them, and in the prints engraved 
from the tapestries by Amling. The exact date of De 
Witte’s death is not known, but it probably occurred about 
1620.

treatment of sacred subjects, which Huber van Eyck had 
so grandly tracked, and lowered it greatly from its previ- 
ous elevation. His heads, for instance, are generally of a 
very ugly character; at the same time, his form of art 
found sympathy in the feeling of the period.” He died 
in 1533.

the works of Caravaggio; but his later style, by which he

“Such was his knowledge of perspective, that he was 
accustomed to paint, in the small space of a cabinet picture, 
the largest and most magnificent gothic edifices, in so

Rembrandt Van Rhyn, born in 1606, was the son of a 
miller of Leyden, and “from the dark interior of his 
father’s mill, partially lighted from above, in which he 
passed his infancy and boyhood, he is supposed to have 
caught the first idea of those strong contrasts of light and 
shadow, which he carried to such perfection in his art.”

Bernardino Luini was born at Luino, on Lago Maggiore, 
about the year 1480. He was a disciple of Leonardo da 
Vinci, and the most celebrated imitator of that master’s 
style. Some uncertainty exists concerning the exact date 
of his death, but it was subsequent to the year 1530. 
Professor Ruskin said of Luini, in his Oxford Lecture on 
Sculpture, that “he alone of mediaeval artists could com- 
bine beauty and saintliness.”

painter to the King, and flattered and favored by the great 
Boucher, was the most admired artist of the day among 
the Parisians. “Yet perhaps it would be difficult to select 
one who enjoyed these advantages with less real pretention 
to admiration, or less legitimate claim to distinction.” He 
died in 1768.

This artist was born at Antwerp in 1615, and received

sidered the ablest landscape painter of his time. Young 
Ryckaert soon rose to distinction and enjoyed the special 
favor of Archduke Leopold, who appointed him in 1651 
Director of the Academy at Antwerp. He usually painted 
peasant festivals, musical parties or the interiors of chem- 
ists’ laboratories. David Ryckaert’s pictures are not often 
met with out of Belgium, where they are to be found in the 
best collections. He died in 1677.

This distinguished artist, born at Venice in 1485, was

Pope bestowing upon him the office of Keeper of his 
Chancery Seal, made it necessary for him to assume the 
religious habit, along with which he adopted the title of 
Fra Sebastiano del Piombo. He was successively the 
scholar of Bellini, Georgioni and Michel Angelo Buonaroti, 
and after the death of Raffaelle, he was reputed the most 
distinguished artist in Rome. He died in 1547.

Francesco, who was the founder of a school bearing his 
name; later, in Venice, under Bonifagio Veneziani. He is 
supposed by some to have been a pupil of Titian, but this 
is doubtful, although at one time he was a close follower 
of that master’s style. After acquiring considerable 
celebrity in Venice, his father’s death compelled him to

This eminent portrait painter was born in Westphalia

to visit England, where he soon acquired high favor and 
distinction. Through William, Prince of Orange, he was 
introduced to the notice of Charles I, whose portrait he 
painted, as well as those of the Prince and Princess of 
Orange. Through all the tragical events that followed, 
Sir Peter Lely remained in England, his fame unimpaired. 
Cromwell sat to him, and after the Restoration, he had 
the honor of painting King Charles IJ, by whom he was 
knighted. Sir Peter died in 1680 and was buried in Con- 
vent Garden, where a monument with his bust, by Gibbon, 
is erected in his memory.

of Andrea Sacchi. His best performances are his easel 
pictures, representing fairs, huntings, markets and carni- 
val festivities. He was a favorite of Charles Emanuel, 
Duke of Savoy, who invited him to the Court of Turin, 
and conferred upon him the order of the Knighthood of 
St. Maurice. He died in 1664.

That few cities are better known to the public than the

Canaletto, who has painted numerous scenes on her canals 
and lagunes. A complete work, consisting of his views in 
Venice, was published in that city in 1742. Canaletto was 
born in Venice in 1697 and died in 1768.

The Patriotic Race 


No. 7 represents an incident of the American Revolu- 
tion. While both armies were encamped near the Potomoc, 
the English. officers gave a ball to the ladies of the vicinity. 
In the course of the evening a young American girl hap- 
pened to overhear a whispered conversation between two 
officers relating to movements of the army and some 
important dispatches on the subject, which were to be 
forwarded that night by special messenger to a command- 
ing officer stationed at some distance. Understanding of 
what immense advantage the possession of these papers 
would be to her countrymen, the young girl instantly 
formed a heroic resolution. Slipping into the kitchen, she 
managed to divert the attention of the messenger while 
she abstracted the dispatch bag, then hurrying to the 


42 CROCKER ART GALLERY 


stable she mounted the horse, which stood ready saddled 
for the British soldier, and behold her galloping towards 
the American encampment. In short time the important 
theft is discovered and an English officer starts in pursuit 
of the fugitive. Just at sunrise he overtakes her—another 
moment and her heroic act had been in vain, but Ameri- 
can tents are gleaming in the distance, an American sol- 
dier is already by her side. In the ardor of his exciting 
chase, the Englishman has, unnoticed, passed the lines 
of the hostile encampment; at the sharp tone of the Ameri- 
can soldier, he now wheels about with an angry oath, and, 
thanks to his brave steed alone, makes good his escape 
to the British lines. 


379 Nahl, Chass G. San Francisco 
The Love Chase 


It was customary with the Arabs, when a young man 
wooed the daughter of a Sheik, that the father should give 
his best horse to the maiden, and another to her suitor. 
If the girl was favorably disposed toward the intended 
bridegroom, she would rein in her steed, thus giving him 
an opportunity of overtaking her; if, on the contrary, she 
disliked him, she urged her horse to its utmost speed. 
This picture represents a fair lady, evidently extremely 
willing to be captured, and giving her lover every possible 
opportunity of winning the prize. In the background are 
seated the respective fathers of the young couple, while, 
according to Arab custom, a camel stands ready to carry 
home the bride.

Oriental Lady 


Domenico Zampieri, called Il Domenichino, was born 
at Bologna in 1581. He was a fellow student of Guido 
and Albano in the Academy of the Caracci, where he soon 
distinguished himself greatly, Together with Albano, he 
afterwards visited Parma, Modena and Reggio, to study 
the works of Correggio and Parmegiano; and on their 
return they both finally settled in Rome. Domenichino’s 
Communion of St. Jerome, painted for the principal altar 
of S. Girolamo della Carita, was considered the finest 
picture at Rome, after the Transfiguration, by Raffaelle. 
He died in 1641.

The Epiphany, or Adoration of the Three Kings 


The church yearly celebrates this, almost the first 
event in the human life of the infant Savior. The Magi, or, 
as tradition has it, the “Three Kings,” having seen His star 
in the east, have come to worship Him and bring gifts, 
“sold, frankincense and myrrh.” In the center of the pic- 
ture, clad in an ermine mantle, his jeweled turban lying 
at his feet, sits one of the kings, tenderly holding the divine 
infant, whom, he has just received from the arms or the 
Virgin. Close beside him, to the right, the second king, 
a Moor, is bending down to present his offering, and behind 
him appears the figure of the other king. To the left, 
in scarlet robe and dark drapery, stands the blessed

mother, contemplating her son, and quite in the back- 
ground appears the head of St. Joseph, while some figures 
—attendants of the Magi—fill up the center of the back- 
ground. There is infinite grace and simplicity in the ex- 
pression and attitude of the blessed Virgin, and the head 
of the king holding the infant is full of wonderful dignity, 
individuality and veneration. The paintings of Vandyck 
are very numerous, notwithstanding the shortness of his 
career.

Vandyck was born at Antwerp in 1599, and died in London 
in 1641. The portrait before us is evidently that of some 
scholar and divine of the seventeenth century.

Paul Potter was born at Enckhuysen in 1625. He made

he ranked, at the age of fifteen, as a finished artist. “Of 
the masters who have striven pre-eminently after truth, 
he is, beyond all quistion, one of the greatest that ever

lar department, and of the numerous artists of his country 
he has only been surpassed in it by Vandyck. His coloring 
is chaste, and at the same time vigorous, and his heads 
are full of life and character. It was the opinion of 
Vandyck that no artist would have equaled him in his 
profession if he could have given more tenderness to his 
coloring.

masters, except Raphael’s “St. Cecilia,’ when it was 
brought to Bologna. After long gazing upon it with breath- 
less admiration, he exclaimed: “Anch io sono pittore!”’

Thomas Hill was born in Birmingham, England, in 
1829. His family came to America in 1840, and settled at 
Taunton, Mass. He early showed artistic talent, his first 
important work being painted in Philadelphia in 1853, at 
which time he was a member of the old Graphic Club 
and also of the Academy, studying in the life class, of 
which Rothermel was president. In 1853 he took his first 
medal at the Maryland Institute, Baltimore. In 1861, he 
came to California for the benefit of his health. Opening 
a studio in San Francisco, he took the first prize of the 
Art Union for his “Trial Scene in the Merchant of Venice.” 
He went to Paris in 1866, and studied with Paul Meyer- 
heim, after which he devoted himself almost exclusively 
to landscape. Taking up his residence in Boston in 1867, 
he painted several notable pictures, amongst others “The 
Yosemite Valley” and “White Mountain Notch.” Ill health © 
compelled him to return to California, where he was soon 
able to resume the successful career began in the East. 
At the Centennial Exposition, Philadelphia, 1876, he was 
awarded the first medal for landscape painting, the subjects 
being “Donner Lake” and “Yosemite Valley” which are 
now in the gallery of the Leland Stanford, Jr., University. 
Another of his best works, “The Great Canon of the 
Sierras,” is in the Crocker Gallery (No. 423). This picture 
gained the New York Pallette Club medal. In addition 
to these honors, Mr. Hill has received a number of other 
medals.

landscape at the Dusseldorf Academy, and acquired in a 
few years a high rank as an architectural landscape 
painter. “A coasting voyage which he made with his 
father in 1832 and 1833, by way of Rotterdam, Schevenin- 
gen and Amsterdam, to Hamburg, and thence to Riga, 
opened new fields for the exercise of his pencil in the 
grand wilderness and magnificent surging of the Northern 
Sea, his acquaintance with which he two years afterwards 
matured and extended by an expedition to Denmark, Nor- 
way and Sweden.” He subsequently traveled in the Tyrol, 
and in 1843 went to Italy, where he remained two years. 
“His pictures are characterized by the charm of never 
ending variety, grand mountain passes and lovely home 
idylls, the solitary fiord, forest lands, waterfalls and marine 
views with shipping, all seem under diverse aspects of sea- 
son—some by day, others by moonlight. To sum up, the 
tendency of Achenbach’s genius is realistic in the highest 
and best sense of the word.” Foremost among his schol- 
ars are his brother Oswald and A. Flamm-Andreas. 
Achenbach obtained the great gold medals of Belgium and 
Prussia and the small one of France. He is also Knight 
of the Belgium Order of Leopold, and a member of the 
academies of Berlin, Amsterdam and Antwerp. Died 1905.

Proclamation of Peace After the Thirty Years’ War 


A composition containing about seventy figures in the

more indistinctly seen in the distance. Young and old 
have come without the town to receive the glad tidings 
of peace, which are brought by twelve youths, crowned 
with flowers and clad in flowing garments, who are 
advancing slowly down the road. One bears a scroll of 
parchment in his left hand, the others carry olive branches. 
Some of the people are on their knees, while others stand 
gazing upwards, in mute gratitude to Heaven. Here and 
there, those whom the cruel war has made widows and 
fatherless, indulge in silent grief, unable to participate 
in the universal joy. To the left appear the steeples and 
buildings of a town, and from a half ruined tower flies 
the white flag of peace. In the distance, to the right, 
troops are seen returning. A river, the Rhine, probably, 
winds its serpentine course through the distant landscape,

dotted along its banks with towns and villages, and castled

effect of light and shadow, similar to that observed in 
the works of Caravaggio; but his later style, by which 
he is best known, is remarkable for its sweetness and 
tenderness. His heads show the influence of a careful 
study of the antique.” Guido died in 1642.

At a table, covered with a damask cloth, on which are 
flowers, wines and sweetmeats, ladies and cavaliers are 
seated in various attitudes, all more or less careless. In 
the foreground, to the right of the spectator, sits Queen 
Joanna, a fair woman, of beautiful form and feature. She 


52 CROCKER ART GALLERY 


is clothed in white satin; some drapery of gold brocade 
is thrown across her lap, which is full of flowers, and 
the tip of her dainty attired foot rests on a richly covered 
stool. Her head is turned towards the gentlemen on her 
left, Prince Louis of Taranto, who, with his right hand 
on his heart, is evidently making some tender protestation. 
Behind the chairs of the Queen and her favorite stand 
two Moorish boys, holding fans of peacock feathers. To 
the left, a youth and maiden, in the costume of the Italian 
peasantry, are executing a national dance to the music of 
bagpipe and flute. In the background attendants are bring- 
ing in fruit, and on the extreme right of the picture a musi- 
cian, seated on a stone fence, and two lazzaroni are eagerly 
gazing upon the festive scene. Between the vine-wreathed 
pillars, at the back of the table, we have a view of 
Vesuvius, and the blue waters of the far-famed Bay of 
Naples. 

Queen Joanna reigned from 1343 to 1382. She was a 
beautiful, but unprincipled woman, who caused the murder 
of her first husband in 1345, and was married three times 
afterwards. She was suffocated by command of her cousin 
and adopted son, Charles of Durazzo, who was proclaimed 
King of Naples in 1382. ‘

released from the plough and placed under the tuition of 
Juan de Roelas, where he soon acquired a considerable 
reputation. In 1650, he was sent for by King Philip to 
paint the Labors of Hercules, in the palace of Buenretiro. 
During the progress of the work, he was often visited 
by his royal patron, who on one occasion was pleased to 
express his admiration by laying his hand upon the artist’s 
shoulder, and calling him “painter of the king, and king 
of painters.” Zurbaran was of the naturalist school in

copied the latter’s works in the same tone of coloring and 
delicate manner of penciling. In painting from his own 
designs he imitated his brother so closely that his pictures 
have sometimes passed for Adrian’s works, although they 
are inferior to them. He died in 1718.

roundings of the weird, witch-like creature, the attendant 
ape, fit companion for a being who appears scarcely human 
in her repulsive hideousness, are portrayed with wonder- 
ful art and expression, and reveal the touch of him, in 
whom “all the glories of Spanish art were united, as it 
were, into one focus.” Murillo, like Rubens, the only mas- 
ter of his age that can be compared with him in talent, 


SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 55 


“possessed an almost incredible fertility, a widely ex-

Bartholome Esteban Murillo was born in the little town

This illustrious artist was born in the Val d’Arno in 
1452, and evinced even in childhood a decided taste for 
the fine arts. Placed by his father under the guidance of 
Andrea Verrochio, he soon eclipsed that master, and his 
talents rapidly attracted the attention of the Florentine 
public. Leonardo’s studies had not been confined to paint- 
ing; he was an able sculptor and architect and an accom- 
plished poet and musician. Joined to such vigor of intel- 
lect, was an elegance of feature and grace of manner 
which made him beloved by all and soon spread his fame 
through Italy. His famous work is his “Last Supper,” 
painted for the refectory of the Dominican Convent 
of S. Maria delle Grazie at Milan,“a performance which 
history ranks amongst the most admirable productions 
of the art.” Leonardo da Vinci expired at Fountainbleau 
on the 2nd day of May, 1519. Aged 67 years.

Portrait ; 


Peter Paul Rubens, the illustrious head of the Flemish 
School, the “consummate painter, enlightened scholar, 
skillful diplomatist and accomplished man of the world,” 
‘was born at Cologne in 1577, on the Feast of St. Peter and 
St. Paul, from which circumstance he received his name. 
On reaching his twenty-third year, he went by advice of 
his friend and master, Otto Venius, to Italy, where he spent 
eight years. On his return he established himself at Ant- 
werp, from where he went at different times to the Courts 
of France and spain. Among his numerous magnificent 
paintings, the one by which he is most extensively known, 
is probably his famous “Descent from the Cross,” which 
presents the highest excellence attained by the master 
in ecclesiastical art. Rubens died at Antwerp May, 1640.

United States, while at the same time his work in the 
field of portraiture is almost equally important.

The Nativity tated 4 OE) 


Gaspar de Crayer was born at Antwerp in 1582. “The 
biographers of the Flemish painters have not hesitated to 
place this estimable artist on a level with Rubens and 
Vandyck. Although this high compliment may be rather 
strained, he is undoubtedly entitled to the next rank after 
them, among the ablest artists of that school.”

Christ at the Temple with the Doctors 
Eustache Le Sueur, the son of an obscure sculptor, was 
born at Paris in 1617. “His style exhibits little of the char- 
acter of his country, and the simplicity of his composi- 
tions and the poetry of his design procured him the hon- 
orable title of the French Raffaelle. “ * * His compo- 
sitions are noble and elevated, and there is a naivete in

the air of his heads, and in his attitudes, which is extreme- 
ly interesting; his draperies are simply and grandly cast, 
and though his coloring is without vigor or force, it is 
tender and delicate, and well adapted to the particular 
character of his works.” This distinguished painter died 
in 1655.

530 Van Der Does, J. Dutch School 
Sheep and Goats 


Jacob Van der Does, born at Amsterdam in 1623, was 
for some time a scholar of Nicholas Moyaert. On pro- 
ceeding to Italy, he was, however, strongly influenced by 
the pictures of Peter van Laer (called Bamboccio), and 
attaching himself to the style of that master, he painted 
similar subjects with great success. He executed land- 
scapes, chiefly of Italian character, enlivened with sheep 
and goats, “which are touched with a precision and beauty 
of pencil that has hardly seemed surpassed.” Van der Does 
is said to have been of a gloomy, morose and fretful 
temperament, and his works seem to partake of the gloomi- 
ness of his character. He died at The Hague in 1673.

Perseus and Andromeda 


Francesco Primaticcio, the scion of a noble house, was 
born at Bologna in 1490. He was successively the scholar 
of Innocenzo da Imola, Il Bagnacavallo, and of Giulio 
Romano; with the latter he spent six years. He passed 
much of his time in France, where he was a great favorite 
with Francis I. On the death of that monarch, he continued 
in the service of his successors, Henry II and Charles IX. 
Primaticcio died at Paris in 1570. 


540 Holbein, Hans \% German School 
Dido Stabbing Herself 


This distinguished painter, engraver and designer, is 
generally said to have been born at Basle in 1498, although 
according to others, he is a native of Augsburg. However 
this may be, young Holbein passed his youth in the former 
place. In 1526 he visited England, where he was received 
‘with the greatest kindness by Sir Thomas More, through 
whose influence he was introduced to the notice of King 
Henry VIII, who took him into great favor, and appointed 
him painter to the Court, with apartments in the palace 
and a liberal salary. His works are very numerous; the 
greatest and best are in England, where he executed them. 
He died of the plague in London in 1554.

Matthew XXVII, 28, 29. Bramer’s style resembles that of 
Rembrandt. He was born at Delft in 1596; the year of his 
death is unknown.

Michel Angelo Amerighi, surnamed Caravaggio, was

himself famous for the impressive truth of his productions, 
and his pictures may, to a certain extent, be regarded as 
typical of his life, portraying, as they do, more especially 
the passionate and gloomy emotions of the human heart.

On the evening of the 9th of March, 1566, Lord Darnley, 
Ruthven, and others, entered the Queen’s apartments, Holy- 
rood Palace, and carried out their fiendish plot of assas- 
sinating her confidential secretary and favorite, David 
Rizzio, before the eyes of his royal mistress. In the center 
of the picture, Mary is seated in an attitude of alarm, her

right hand extended towards Rizzio, as if to protect him. 
The latter, to the left, surprise and terror depicted on his 
countenance, leans back, gazing as if fascinated, upon 
Darnley, who, with outstretched arm, denounces him to 
the executioner. In the background, to the right, the 
Countess of Argyle stands near the door, a terror-stricken 
spectator of the scene.

painter. His pictures principally represent the most en- 
chanting views in the vicinity of Rome, Tivoli and

Teniers; he afterwards studied under Adrian Brouwer, 
and is said to have been for some time the pupil of Rubens. 
The works of Teniers, although exceedingly numerous, are 
held in the highest estimation, and in subjects relating to 
common life, he is the greatest of Flemish painters. He 
died at Brussels in the year 1694, at the advanced age of 84.

On leaving that master’s studio, he set out for Italy; but 
on his way through France, he met with so much encour- 
agement in Paris, that, abandoning his original project, 
he decided to remain in the latter city. After several years 
residence there, he returnd to Bruges, where he received 
more commissions than he could execute. His principal 
work is a series of fifteen pictures of the Life of our Savior; 
painted for the Church of the Dominicans at Bruges. He 
died in his native city in 1714. The picture before us was 
painted during the artist’s residence in Paris.

John Wynants, born at Harlem in 1600, is esteemed 
one of the most distinguished landscape painters of his 
time, and the academy which he established has produced 
many of the ablest artists of the Dutch School. Little is 
known of his life, “his works, like those of Philip Wouver- 
man, must form his history.” His pictures, which are very 
valuable and of which he painted a large number, are to 
be found among all the best collections. He died in 1670.

name living about the same time. John Breughel was 
distinguished as the “Velvet Breughel,” because he was 
generally dressed in velvet, an expensive habit, and one 
unusual for painters in those days.

HISTORY OF THE GALLERY 


in the City of Sacramento, California, the E. B. 
Crocker Art Gallery 1870-1873 to gratify their tastes. 
They gathered most of the Art Collection during their 
travels in Europe. The large collection of studies, dratw- 
ings, etc., kept in portfolios and lockers, were secured from 


Jiu E. B. and Mrs. Margaret E. Crocker erected 


studios and collectors in Europe during the Franco-Prus- 
sian War. 


In 1884 the California Museum Association was formed 
to gather a museum of art, natural history, etc., and to 
study matters related to the development of the resources 
of California. : 


To aid in securing a hall for its purposes, it gave an Art 
Loan Exhibition in the Art Gallery by the kindness of Mrs. 
Margaret E. Crocker, widow of Judge E. B. Crocker. It 
was so successful that in its midst Mrs. Crocker donated 
to the Association the building and all its contents. By the 
request of the Association Mrs. Crocker changed the gift 
so that it could be received by the City of Sacramento with 
the California Museum Association as a co-tenant and 
administrator. The city accepted the trust and the two 
bodies have ever since controlled the property jointly. 


In honor of the donor of the Gallery the people shortly 
after the making of the deed, gave her a reception in the 
great Agricultural Pavilion, which for floral beauty, unan- 
imity of participation and splendor of ceremony, has never 
-been surpassed in the State. People and societies from 
all over the State participated and contributed to the 
features of the floral festival. An account of all this with 
paintings by California artists was bound in a unique 
volume of gold and Sutter Fort Oak, and, with another 
volume bound in silver and oak containing newspaper 
comments on the gift and festival, was presented to 
Mrs. Crocker. 

The original gift included 160 feet on O Street, by 160 
on Second Street. A few years later and shortly prior to 
her death, Mrs. Crocker gave an additional strip on the 
east marked by the west line of the residence property next 
to the Gallery.
